Whisky quote
Quotable Quote
"...the best whisky is made in Scotland. They call it "whisky," because to their way of thinking, there aren't other varieties. The most publicized stuff is pure malt whisky, which comes from barley. But you can distill Scotch from all kinds of grains. The thing that makes it Scotch, the thing that gives it the distinctive Scottish whisky flavor, is curing with Scottish mud. They call it "peat," which sounds better...
WHISKEY
For pre-op transsexuals, and other people who have penises, but are nevertheless girls, there's Canadian whiskey. This is like real whisky, but without any of that icky whisky flavor. It's almost always watered to 80 proof. So you won't have to worry about the effects of evil alcohol, either.
Irish whiskey, on the other hand, will transform even the most taciturn dullard into a poet. Sometimes, the poetry is good. The stories about the poets, and their drunken escapades, are better.
The whiskey of Ireland can have much the same aspect as Scotch. But most of them have a fruitier flavor, recalling apples and pears.
The Irish refer to their whiskey as "whiskey," also pretending that other varieties are aberrations. In this case, they fool no one."

Where do I buy whisky?
Last week I flew from Israel to Zurich then on to Stockholm. From Stockholm I flew to Franfurt then home to Israel.
I checked out the dutyfree shops and found that the selection of whisky varied and the prices were inconsistent.
So how do I find the good whisky deals? Where is the best place to buy whisky? What is the right price to pay for a bottle of your favorite whisky?
Stay tuned...
